Magnetic Whiteboard

ogriofa

Hi,
this is a weird one.

The title is the closest I could come to describing what Im looking for.

I want to attach fridge magnets to one of these boards (some characters, fluffy clouds, rain clouds, puddles etc.)
I have designed a scene from a cartoon and I want to print it onto a whiteboard so that my nephews can move the characters around, make up stories etc etc.

Is this possible and if so, who could I talk to about it?
Thanks for any help

You'd probably be able to get a magnetic whiteboard in an office supply shop. As for printing an image on it.... I'm sure this can be done as a sticky sheet to stick onto it, but that would probably be expensive and prevent you using it again later on (with a different scene or that).

Could you draw the scene on using whiteboard markers? Or maybe stick an a4 or a3 sheet onto the whiteboard using magnets, that way you could chop and change the scene as you wish...

As for suppliers, try http://lmgtfy.com/?q=magnetic+whiteboards+ireland

wow - you've given me an idea.
I could get the whiteboard, print off my poster/scene, place it on top of the whiteboard & then fix it in place somehow.

!

You can buy magnetic strips by the roll , I’d use that to attach the poster , or if you want some ting more permanent use contact to cover the entire board , the edges of the boards are usually easily removable which will help give a cleaner finish once you place them over where the contact ends (there should be plastic caps on most white boards hiding the screws )

I got one in Atlantic Homecare last Sunday.

This sounds like the best way! Thanks!
Could I print off my scene on A3, laminate it, put magnetic strips on the back and then put it into a frame?
